Alawyer whose clients included some of the world’s leading music artists has died aged 83 after a short illness.

Paddy Grafton Green began his career in 1967 as an articled clerk with Theodore Goddard and he started out as a private client lawyer.

When the firm was consulted on behalf of The Rolling Stones, Paddy stepped in to advise and quickly became a close confidant of the band.

He grew his legal practice in the entertainment business and carved out a niche as one of London’s most sought-after lawyers and a respected partner in the firm.
